AI Thread Summary
The circuit in question involves relays controlled by a microcontroller, with inputs COM2 and COM3 feeding into the micro. The relays activate outputs RB4 to RB7, which can short connections 3 and 4, potentially allowing for a star-delta conversion. The user seeks clarification on the circuit's purpose and calculations related to phase voltage, specifically questioning the voltage at the microcontroller input. Initial calculations provided were incorrect, with the correct voltage determined to be approximately 0.885V. The discussion highlights a need for a clearer schematic to better understand the circuit's functionality.

TL;DR Summary
I need to understand the hardware circuit.
I need to understand the below circuit, the RB4, RB5, RB6, RB7 are controlled by the micro controller. The COM2 and COM3 are going as input to the micro. I know when the outputs RB4 to RB7 are ON, the relays will be ON and 3,4 get shorted. But i don't understand the purpose the circuit. Am i sorry that i don't have much details. Any comments can help me, I heard it can be used to change star to delta connection and vice versa. HardwareDiagram.jpg
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Just to add this is the circuit used for phase voltage, i need to understand. Can I assume that the calculations for Y phase voltage at the micro input is 560K and 560K in series and 10K in parallel
Hence for 100V for example
Voltage at micro = (100*10)/(560K + 560K + 10K) = 0.97V. Please advise, i am not going to design this circuit, this is only for understanding purpose.

Check your arithmetic and the missing k multiplier ?
100V *( 10k / ( 10k + 560k + 560k ) ) = 0.885 V

The text is important. There is too much white space. Do you have a readable schematic ?
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
